Alcohol ride and theft: Police take measures in Herzogenaurach!

Alcohol ride and theft: Police take measures in Herzogenaurach!

In the past few days there have been several interesting incidents in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district, which show how quickly you can get into difficulties if you do not pay attention to the traffic rules. The focus is on traffic controls, thefts at festivals and the dangers of alcohol at the wheel.

On Friday evening, July 11th, 2025, a car driver in Eckental-Eschenau was checked by the police. The driver, who presented a Brazilian driver's license, has lived in Germany for over half a year and would have had to have his driving license rewritten in the meantime. However, since he was unable to show a valid driving license, the onward journey was immediately prevented. The driver is no stranger to the police because he has been reported several times because of similar violations. Another criminal proceedings have been initiated and it will be interesting to see how this story will develop. From Wiesentbote reported.

In the same period, there was a unfortunate incident in Herzogenaurach at the Kirchweihfest. Children apparently discovered the injustice here: an approximately ten -year -old boy in a football jersey was the victim of theft when a banknote was stolen. The boy was able to move in an unknown direction before the police arrived. The Herzogenaurach police inspection asks possible witnesses to report on 09132/78090.

But not only thefts cause excitement. On Friday afternoon, a scooter driver in Herzogenaurach was checked during a traffic control. The strong alcohol smell lifted the officials, and a response to a judicial alcohol test resulted in a value of 0.54 per thousand. This means that the driver must expect a fine advertisement and a driving ban. According to the regulations in Germany, the alcohol boundaries for drivers are 0.0 per thousand for novice drivers and people under the age of 21. From 0.5 per thousand it gets serious-here there is a risk of fines and a driving ban, as the ADAC illustrates.

alcohol boundaries and their consequences

The legal regulations regarding alcohol at the wheel are clear and unmistakable. Drivers who are below 0.3 per thousand can already be prosecuted for failure symptoms. At 0.5 to 1.09 per thousand it is an administrative offense that, at the first violation, has 500 euros in fine, two points and a month of driving. From 1.1 per thousand, absolute inability to drive apply, which is punished with punishments and driving license withdrawal. It becomes particularly fatal from 1.6 per thousand: Here a medical-psychological examination (MPU) is required to re-establish the driver's license, as is explained in [Jusora] (https://www.jusora.de/verkehr/Al alcohol-am-steuer/). In summary, it can be said that both compliance with the traffic rules and a responsible handling of alcohol when driving are essential. Whether a traffic control or a quick pleasure on the festival - security is going on, and it is worth having a good hand in order not to conflict with the law. The current events in the district remind us that you should never lose sight of a watchful attitude to road traffic and for your own safety.
